Project description:alpha-Synuclein, a neuronal presynaptic protein, has been reported to undergo oligomerization to form toxic Lewy bodies in neurodegenerative disorders. One of the proposed mechanisms for aggregation of alpha-synuclein involves oxidative and nitrative modifications. In the present study, we show that addition of 3-morpholino-sydnonimine chloride (SIN-1) or slow infusion of pre-formed peroxynitrite (ONOO-) to mixtures containing alpha-synuclein and HCO3- markedly enhanced both nitration and aggregation of alpha-synuclein through dityrosine formation. Bicarbonate-dependent peroxidase activity of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) also induced covalent aggregation of alpha-synuclein via a CO3*--dependent mechanism. Nitrone spin traps completely inhibited CO3*--mediated oxidation/nitration and aggregation of alpha-synuclein. Conversely, alpha-synuclein inhibited CO3*--induced spin adduct formation. Independent evidence for CO3*--mediated oxidation and dimerization of alpha-synuclein was obtained from UV photolysis of [(NH3)5CoCO3]+, which generates authentic CO3*-. Irradiation of [(NH3)5CoCO3]+ and NO2- in the presence of alpha-synuclein yielded nitration and aggregation products that were similar to those obtained from a SIN-1 (or slowly infused ONOO-) and HCO3- or a myeloperoxidase/H2O2/NO2- system. Hydrophobic membranes greatly influenced alpha-synuclein aggregation and nitration in these systems. We conclude that both CO3*- and NO2* could play a major role in the nitration/aggregation of alpha-synuclein.

Project description:Fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) is a powerful covalent labeling tool that uses hydroxyl radicals generated by laser flash photolysis of hydrogen peroxide to footprint protein surfaces. Because radical production varies with many experimental parameters, hydroxyl radical dosimeters have been introduced to track the effective radical dosage experienced by the protein analyte. FPOP experiments performed using adenine optical radical dosimetry containing protein in Tris buffer demonstrated unusual dosimetry behavior. We have investigated the behavior of Tris under oxidative conditions in detail. We find that Tris can act as a novel gain-of-signal optical hydroxyl radical dosimeter in FPOP experiments. This new dosimeter is also amenable to inline real-time monitoring, thereby allowing real-time adjustments to compensate for differences in samples for their quenching ability.

Project description:Global Gene Expression Analysis Reveals Differences in Cellular Responses to Hydroxyl- and Superoxide-induced Oxidative Stress in Caco-2 Cells. Reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative stress in the colon is involved in inflammatory bowel diseases and is suggested to be associated with colorectal cancer risk. However, our insight in molecular responses to different oxygen radicals is still fragmentary. Therefore, we studied global gene expression by an extensive time serie (0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 24 hours ) analyses in human colon cancer (Caco-2) cells after exposure to H2O2 or menadione, leading to the formation of HO. or O2.- radicals respectively. Next to gene expression, induction of pathways and correlations with related phenotypic markers (oxidative DNA damage, cell cycle arrest) was investigated. Gene expression analysis resulted in 1404 differentially expressed genes upon H2O2 challenge and 979 genes after menadione treatment. Time-dependent co-regulated genes immediately showed a pulse-like response to HO. formation while the O2.--induced expression is not restored over 24 hours. Pathway analyses demonstrated that the difference in the modulation of gene expression is also reflected in regulation of pathways by HO. and O2.-: H2O2 immediately influences pathways involved in the immune function, while menadione constantly regulated cell cycle-related pathways. Altogether, this study offers a novel and detailed insight in differential time-dependent oxidative stress response, but most importantly, shows that effects of HO. and O2.- can also be discriminated regarding their modulation of particular carcinogenesis-related mechanisms. Keywords: Comparison of genome-wide gene expression between different time points for H2O2 and menadione.

Project description:It has been shown that the major reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the aqueous reaction of Fe(II) and H2O2 (i.e., the Fenton reaction) are high-valent oxoiron(IV) species, whereas the hydroxyl radical plays a role only in very acidic conditions. Nevertheless, when the Fenton reaction is conducted in phosphate buffer solutions, the resulting ROS turns into hydroxyl radical even in neutral pH conditions. The present density functional theory (DFT) study discloses the underlying principle for this phenomenon. Static and dynamic DFT calculations indicate that in phosphate buffer solutions, the iron ion is highly coordinated by phosphoric acid anions. Such a coordination environment substantially raises the pK a of coordinated water on Fe(III). As a consequence, the Fe(III)-OH intermediate, resulting from the reductive decomposition of H2O2 by ferrous ion is relatively unstable and will be readily protonated by phosphoric acid ligand or by free proton in solution. These proton-transfer reactions, which become energetically favorable when the number of phosphate coordination goes up to three, prevent the Fe(III)-OH from hydrogen abstraction by nascent •OH to form Fe(IV)=O species. On the basis of this finding, a ligand design strategy toward controlling the nature of ROS produced in the Fenton reaction is put forth. In addition, it is found that while phosphate buffers facilitate •OH radical generation in the Fenton reaction, phosphoric acid anions can act as •OH radical scavengers through hydrogen atom transfer reactions.

Project description:Hydroxyl radical (•OH) is a potent reactive oxygen species with the ability to degrade hazardous organic compounds, kill bacteria, and inactivate viruses. However, an off-the-shelf, portable, and easily activated biomaterial for generating •OH does not exist. Here, microgels were functionalized with catechol, an adhesive moiety found in mussel adhesive proteins, and hematin (HEM), a hydroxylated Fe3+ ion-containing porphyrin derivative. When the microgel was hydrated in an aqueous solution with physiological pH, molecular oxygen in the solution oxidized catechol to generate H2O2, which was further converted to •OH by HEM. The generated •OH was able to degrade organic dyes, including orange II and malachite green. Additionally, the generated •OH was antimicrobial against both gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria with the initial concentration of 106-107 CFU/mL. These microgels also reduced the infectivity of a non-enveloped porcine parvovirus and an enveloped bovine viral diarrhea virus by 3.5 and 4.5 log reduction values, respectively (99.97-99.997% reduction in infectivity). These microgels were also functionalized with positively charged [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (METAC), which significantly enhanced the antibacterial and antiviral activities through electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged pathogens and the microgel. These microgels can potentially serve as a lightweight and portable source of disinfectant, for an on-demand generation of •OH with a wide range of applications.

Project description:Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) can be generated via Fenton chemistry catalyzed by transition metals. An in vitro Fenton system was developed to test both the inhibition and stimulation of •OH formation, by monitoring salicylate aromatic hydroxylation derivatives as markers of •OH production. The reaction was optimized with either iron or copper, and target analytes were determined by means of an original HPLC method coupled to coulometric detection. The method granted good sensitivity and precision, while method applicability was tested on antioxidant compounds with and without chelating properties in different substance to metal ratios. This analytical approach shows how Fenton's reaction can be monitored by HPLC coupled to coulometric detection, as a powerful tool for studying molecules' redox behavior.

Project description:We examined the effects of ultrasound and Fenton reagent on ultrasonic coupling Fenton oxidation (U+F) pre-treatment processes for the disintegration of wastewater treatment plant sludge. The results demonstrated that U+F treatment could significantly increase soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), total organic carbon (TOC), and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) concentrations in sludge supernatant. This method was more effective than ultrasonic (U) or Fenton oxidation (F) treatment alone. U+F treatment increased the release of SCOD by 2.1- and 1.4-fold compared with U and F alone, respectively. U+F treatment increased the release of EPS by 1.2-fold compared with U alone. After U+F treatment, sludge showed a considerably finer particle size and looser microstructure based on fluorescence microscopy, and the concentration of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) increased from 0.26?mM by F treatment to 0.43?mM by U+F treatment based on fluorescence spectrophotometer. This demonstrated that U+F treatment improves the release of organic matter from sludge.

Project description:Since the landmark work of Heck, Negishi and Suzuki on Pd-catalyzed crossing coupling reactions, innovative discovery of new reactions forming C-C bonds and constructing functional olefins via nonmetal catalysts remains an imperative area in organic chemistry. Herein, we report a transition-metal-free arylation method of vinyl pinacolboronates with diaryliodonium salts to form C(sp2)-C(sp2) bond and provide trans-arylvinylboronates. The resulting vinylboronates can further react with the remaining aryl iodides (generated from diaryliodonium salts) via Suzuki coupling to afford functional olefins, offering an efficient use of aryliodonium salts. Computational mechanistic studies suggest radical-pair pathway of the diaryliodonium salts promoted by the multi-functional wet carbonate.

Project description:Increases in the production and applications of graphene oxide (GO), coupled with reports of its toxic effects, are raising concerns about its health and ecological risks. To better understand GO's fate and transport in aquatic environments, we investigated its reactivity with three major reactive oxygen species (ROS): HO˙, 1O2, and O2˙-. Second-order degradation rate constants were calculated on the loss of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and steady-state concentration of individual ROS species. Absolute second-order rate constants were determined by competition kinetics to be 6.24 × 104, 8.65 × 102, and 0.108 mg-C-1 L s-1 for HO˙, 1O2, and O2˙-, respectively. Photoreduced GO products had a similar reactivity to HO˙ as GO, with rate constants comparable to polycyclic aromatic compounds, but about two times higher than dissolved organic matter on a per carbon basis. Reaction with HO˙ resulted in decomposition of GO, with loss of color and formation of photoluminescent products. In contrast, reaction with 1O2 showed no effect on DOC, UV-vis spectra or particle size, while reaction with O2˙- slightly reduced GO. These results demonstrate that interactions with ROS will affect GO's persistence in water and should be considered in exposure assessment or environmental application of GO.

Project description:Unlike small molecule drugs, therapeutic proteins must maintain the proper higher-order structure (HOS) in order to maintain safety and efficacy. Due to the sensitivity of many protein systems, even small changes due to differences in protein expression or formulation can alter HOS. Previous work has demonstrated how hydroxyl radical protein footprinting (HRPF) can sensitively detect changes in protein HOS by measuring the average topography of the protein monomers, as well as identify specific regions of the therapeutic protein impacted by the conformational changes. However, HRPF is very sensitive to the radical scavenging capacity of the buffer; addition of organic buffers and/or excipients can dramatically alter the HRPF footprint without affecting protein HOS. By compensating for the radical scavenging effects of different adalimumab biosimilar formulations using real-time adenine dosimetry, we identify that sodium citrate buffer causes a modest decrease in average solvent accessibility compared to sodium phosphate buffer at the same pH. We find that the addition of polysorbate 80 does not alter the conformation of the biosimilar in either buffer, but it does provide substantial protection from protein conformational perturbation during short periods of exposure to high temperature. Compensated HRPF measurements are validated and contextualized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), which suggests that changes in adalimumab biosimilar aggregation are major drivers in measured changes in protein topography. Overall, compensated HRPF accurately measured conformational changes in adalimumab biosimilar that occurred during formulation changes and identified the effect of formulation changes on protection of HOS from temperature extremes.
